Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: The Storm of Public Opinion

The video of Superman and Supergirl defeating The Seven instantly ignited global interest.

This complete battle video topped the trending searches on every global social platform, and in just one day, its view count easily surpassed the 2.5 billion mark.

Simply reposting relevant clips of the video could gain significant exposure and attention.

Superheroes are the spiritual sustenance for many ordinary people in this world; the moment the halo around them collapsed, many could not accept it.

"This isn't real!"

"Haha, I knew it, Vought is total bullshit!"

"Fake video, next..."

"Wow!! Superman and Supergirl, they are simply true gods on earth!!"

"Supergirl is so beautiful and cool~! Homelander doesn't seem to have beaten her, I swear, from now on I'm her absolute die-hard fan!"

"Homelander couldn't have lost, the video was edited, someone is spreading it maliciously!"

"Use your brains, how long ago was the counter-terrorism operation? Vought's superheroes are still jumping around, this is a 100% fake video."

"Wuwuwu~! My Queen Maeve, she must be in so much pain~!"

"Why are you crying, the person above? Queen Maeve is perfectly fine, she'll sell you insurance when you're old."

"A-Train and Translucent haven't appeared lately, we'll know once we see what they say."

"Hahahaha~! How are they going to appear, may I ask? They were handled like little kids by Superman, they must have cried and gone home to call their mommies long ago."

People on the internet were saying all sorts of things; whether indignant or excited to watch the drama, a war of words was inevitable.

Global superhero fans were mainly divided into two camps: the Pro-Superman camp and the Pro-Homelander camp.

Superman fans celebrated and showed off combat power, analyzing and corroborating the fact that Superman crushed Homelander, noting that there were signs in various previous details, and incidentally added Supergirl to the discussion.

Vought International fans, especially those led by Homelander, were all in a state of collapse, with many denouncing the origin of the video and questioning its authenticity.

"Fuck! How are you people doing your jobs?!!"

Stan Edgar was furious at the Vought tower, smashing several red wine bottles in a row, still unable to quell his anger.

It was clear he was extremely angry; the CEO who never cursed completely lost his composure the moment he witnessed the video.

But after the anger, he knew he had to take measures immediately.

Edgar could almost foresee Vought's stock price diving and plummeting.

If handled improperly, all advertising endorsements, peripheral collaborations, and government Superhuman projects tied to The Seven would be affected, causing incalculable economic losses.

It could even trigger a collective lawsuit from investors demanding compensation, directly impacting Vought International's entire Superhuman business empire.

'Beep—'

Edgar dialed the phone coldly: "Madelyn, the incident has already occurred, launch emergency public relations immediately, and make sure to minimize the impact."

The situation could be big or small.

Vought International has been growing continuously for decades and has seen many storms, so it was impossible to have no countermeasures.

Of course, to get through this video PR smoothly, investing a massive amount of manpower and material resources was unavoidable, and the resulting massive economic losses would be coldly reflected in Vought International's financial reports.

This matter was enough to keep Edgar and Madelyn overwhelmed and busy for a while.

"Please, use our products!!"

"We can give money, lots and lots of money!"

"We don't just have money, the House of Superman must use the best products, and we are the best in the industry!"

"We can subsidize your renovation, whichever plot of land you need, we'll approve it right now, please come and open a branch here!!"

"Superman, Supergirl, either one is fine, they don't need to film commercials in person, they don't need to film videos, they don't even need to contact us, just authorization is enough!"

"We don't want money for our land, our factories can serve you for free, community institutions can all be called upon by Superman and Supergirl, as long as they come more often, no... it's fine if they don't come, really!!"

Texas had become the private territory of Superman and Supergirl; even if they didn't have such intentions themselves, the group of rednecks would promote it that way when they went out.

Now every Texan was afraid that others wouldn't know they were fellow countrymen of Superman and Supergirl.

In addition, advertisers and manufacturers from all over the country, and even the world, started frantically contacting the 'House of Superman' because they couldn't find Superman and Supergirl.

They waved a large pile of cash and prayed for the favor of the Superman couple with an extremely pious attitude.

Any product or item lucky enough to enter the 'House of Superman', as long as it was slightly related to Superman and Supergirl, without exception, became a hot, sought-after hit.

The brand benefits that many companies struggled to pursue were established in the blink of an eye.

Fame and profit make people crazy.

Under such circumstances, whether it was fans or people and organizations who valued fans, they all rushed forward, sparing no effort to add bricks and tiles to the prestige of Superman and Supergirl.

The storm had already formed and would not subside in a short time.

Superman and Supergirl, who should have been at the center of the media storm, this couple felt no tension at all after the great battle at this moment.

On the contrary, they returned home and had long since started their routine home mode of feeding the baby and doing experiments.

It was as if all the topics in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

In fact.

Even with the launch of the new drug from Connolly Drugs, the two, as big figures behind the scenes at the board level, did not accept the invitation to attend, but left it entirely to Shawn's cousin, Ignaz Connolly.

Connolly Drugs had several common household medicines that were very popular due to their excellent effects and price advantages, and their sales channels were gradually being opened.

According to the plan, innovative segmented drugs would be launched soon, mainly focusing on the research and development of innovative drugs in specific disease fields, including oncology and autoimmune diseases, central nervous system diseases, and other categories.

At this step, Connolly Drugs was not just standing firm, but was going to tear a big hole directly in the pharmaceutical field.

The advantage of digging deep into specific targets at the genetic level—Mira played an irreplaceable role in this part.

As for commercial matters, they tried to leave them to the people of the two families.

The Kent couple, as hands-off bosses, were not too idle either.

Ever since the S-Evolution serum came out.

The thing Shawn and Mira did most was probably observing and training the two teenagers, Matthew and Alex.

Raising small children is raising, and raising big children is also raising; the Kent couple had felt in advance what it was like for children to enter their rebellious phase from Gecko and Supersonic.

One week was not too long or too short, just enough for the two to adapt to their new abilities.
